Bring the troops home from Iraq

My opponent has blindly backed the policies of the Bush-Cheney administration which took us away from the hunt for Osama Bin-Laden and entangled us in Iraq’s religious civil war. This blunder will cost American taxpayers nearly $1 trillion--and
has already cost more than 3,800 lives and tens of thousands more casualties.

It’s time to bring our troops home. After redeployment, we should only require small strategic units in the region to counter terrorism and protect vital American interests.
